Description of the problem	Rear brakes started scraping slightly on a saturday (so slightly that they couldn't be heard with the windows up). That following monday we took it to our mechanic who told us that the rear brakes pads were completely shot (metal on metal were his exact words). Front brakes needed new pads. It's realistic to replace front brake pads at 32000 as we do mostly city driving, however rear brakes should last twice as long as the front pads. We had no warning that such a severe rear brake issue existed and had we not gone to the mechanic at the first sign of any issue, we could have had a serious problem resulting in injury or death. We believe this is a design or manufacturing defect on subaru's part and needs to be looked into more closely.
